The little, the youngest of a litter of seven, was born with a heart-shaped patch on its side and thus was dubbed "Valentine" by its specialist breeder Eric Freeman.

"The clear heart-shaped mark is a first I have even seen in my life," the 75-year-old Freeman said.

It was "stealing the show and winning a legion of fans in the build-up to Valentine's Day," Freeman added.

Yes, it wasn't a common breed of pig; it was a best gift to Valentine's Day.
